Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 45 [045] Can I let my grandson follow you?
For the Demon Suppression Guard to be promoted from a small flag to a general flag, two conditions must be met.

1. Accumulate ten great merits.

Ten small merits are equal to one big merit.

Under normal circumstances, a cavalryman can obtain a maximum of five minor merits during his one-month tour of the country.

Therefore, merit is not so easy to obtain.

The reason why Gu Zheng had ten great achievements so quickly was that when he was in Qingshi County, he cleared out the demons inside and outside the city, which was also considered an achievement.

Of course, the biggest incident was the caesarean section performed to save lives in Baishui County.

The calculation of merit is linked to the number of demons killed, but it is not the main factor.

What matters is the impact.

For example, the lizard snake monster eggs in Baishui County were implanted in the human body. If it were not for Gu Zheng, once all the monster eggs were hatched, not only would the entire Baishui County suffer, but the lizard snake monster population would also grow stronger.

There will be endless troubles, that's what it means.

The second condition is to break through to the realm of Alien Body·Reflection.

Only when both points are met can the general flag be raised.

Yan Hongxue has accumulated ten great merits, but she is not at that level yet, so she can only be considered a reserve. The number of stars on her Bronze Star Armor does not exceed ten, and her cloak is still pitch black.

The real general flag equipment, armor, cloak, helmet, leather gloves, all have star engravings, and are all in a starry state.

Gu Zheng followed people to a courtyard behind the hall and verified the authenticity of the realm.

When I returned, I got the complete set of general flag equipment.

Put on new armor on the spot and return the old armor.

In addition to armor, there are five Yiyuan Pills and two hundred taels of silver. These are the basic monthly benefits.

But what Gu Zheng wanted more was spiritual weapons.

"It takes fifteen great merits to exchange for a spiritual weapon." The receptionist replied.

Fifteen great achievements?
Gu Zheng frowned.

"Brother Gu." Zhang Ning came over and whispered, "Don't exchange for a complete spiritual weapon. A complete one requires a lot of merit. Just exchange it for magic gold. With the size of your sword, you can reforge it into a spiritual weapon by integrating three taels of magic gold. Considering the loss, five taels of magic gold is enough."

It turned out to be the case.

"……Thanks."

Gu Zheng suddenly realized it, thanked him, and then looked at the clerk, "Then exchange it for five taels of magic gold."

"One tael of magic gold for one great merit. The general flag can exchange a maximum of twenty taels per year. Are you sure you want to exchange it?" asked the clerk.

Gu Zheng, "Sure!"

"Okay, wait a moment." The clerk nodded and turned to get the magic gold.

"There's no way. Magic Gold is scarce and the exchange amount is limited." Zhang Ning shrugged.

"That's right." Gu Zheng nodded and asked, "After we get the magic gold, we need to find a weaponsmith to re-melt it. Does Brother Zhang know anyone?"

"Yes." Zhang Ning replied, "I know Ke Juzhen, Master Ke, but I don't know if he is free recently or if he has any work to do."

"Keju Town?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I also know Master Ke. I never thought that he would enter the Demon Slaying Division."

"Oh?" Zhang Ning was surprised when he heard it, "Brother Gu and Master Ke are old acquaintances?"

"Yes, I asked Master Ke to forge my sword from the beginning. Unfortunately, Master Ke was injured at that time and needed half a year to recover, so he recommended Mingjian Villa to me."

When mentioning Ke Juzhen, Gu Zheng's eyes flickered and he recalled, "If you ask Master Ke for help, you can't go empty-handed."

"Ha, Master Ke likes to drink fine wine. If we bring some wine over, we can get him to make a move." Zhang Ning said with a smile, "Maybe we can even cut in line."

"Master Ke likes fine wine, but he can't cut in line for ordinary fine wine." Gu Zheng chuckled.

Ok?
Zhang Ning was puzzled.

Gu Zheng did not explain. He waited for the office staff to bring a jade box and confirm the five taels of magic gold. Then the two left the office hall and went straight to the most upscale restaurant in the city.

"Boss, do you have any Nv'erhong here? The 30-year-old one." "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the 30-year-old Nv'erhong. Can we have the 10-year-old one?"

"Ten years is not enough."

"..."

Daughter red?
Zhang Ning was stunned.

"Master Ke, my favorite wine is Nv'erhong, and it must be thirty years old." Gu Zheng explained.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Ning suddenly realized.

It turns out that Gu Zheng knows Ke Juzhen better than he does.

……

The two walked around the city for most of the day, looking for seven or eight restaurants, and in the evening, they finally found a 30-year-old daughter's red wine.

Immediately, Zhang Ning led the way back to the Demon Slaying Division headquarters and found Ke Ju Town at the northernmost Weapon Foundry.

"Ha, Gu Zheng, Gu Ping'an?"

Ke Juzhen, with his unshaven beard and messy gray hair, is short and stocky, with muscular arms and a pair of bright little eyes that glance around. At first glance, he looks like a lecherous old man.

Seeing Gu Zheng, her eyes sparkled with surprise, "Gu Ping'an, you are so good. How long have you been here? You have become the general flag so soon."

"Master Ke, guess how many days Brother Gu will be here?" Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"It's been a while."

Gu Zheng glanced at Zhang Ning, clasped his fists towards Ke Juzhen and said, "Master Ke, after two years, you are still in good spirits, even better than before."

"Hey, it's just to make a living, I can only say it's OK."

Ke Juzhen wiped his beard, looked at Gu Zheng, and asked with interest, "Gu Zheng, you came to me to forge weapons?"

"Correct."

Gu Zheng took the broken Tianshuang Sword and placed it on the ground. He then took the Nv'erhong, opened the lid, and handed it to Ke Juzhen. "Master Ke, can you re-melt this sword, add magic gold, and make it into a spiritual weapon?"

Sniff sniff~
"Thirty-year-old girl's wine?"

Ke Juzhen sniffed, grabbed the jar of wine, and poured several mouthfuls directly into his mouth.

"Cool!"

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Ke Juzhen put down the wine jar, met Gu Zheng's gaze, and said seriously, "It's no problem to re-melt it. I can start tonight. I don't even need merits. As long as you promise me one thing, I'll be safe. Don't worry, it's not a difficult task."

"Master Ke, you..."

"No problem." Gu Zheng stopped Zhang Ning from speaking, looked at Ke Juzhen, raised his hand and said, "Master Ke, tell me what's going on first."

"I have a great-nephew who also joined the Demon Slayer Bureau. He is currently a wrestler, but he just broke through to the Grandmaster level last month."

Ke Juzhen introduced, "What I'm talking about is that next time you go on a mission, Ping An, if you need a strongman, I hope you can bring him with you."

"...That's it?"

Gu Zheng didn't express his opinion, so Zhang Ning said with a smile, "Hey, I thought it was something else, it's a simple matter."

Then he looked at Gu Zheng and asked, "Brother Gu, what do you think?"

"Okay." Gu Zheng nodded and chuckled, "Master Ke, don't worry. If I need a strongman, the first person I would choose is your nephew."

After all, who to choose is not a choice?
"it is good!"

Ke Juzhen laughed, "I trust Gu Ping'an's character. I will start the furnace tonight to smelt your broken sword. By the way, is this sword of yours the Tianshuang Sword that was made in Mingjian Villa?"

"Correct."

Gu Zheng sighed, "My first mission, this sword was useless. Facing monsters, my previous weapons..."

"and many more!"

Ke Juzhen suddenly raised his hand to interrupt and looked at Gu Zheng in astonishment.

"What did you just say? The first mission? You only went on one mission and you already raised the general flag!?"
